Logic: Biting Someone's Flow Isn't Bad If You're Inspired

[Jao]

the only time i can cosign somebody jackin someones flow is when they do it better than or as good as the original.. i hate when i hear a rapper blatantly jackin another artists flow or melody without bringing anything new/unique/exciting to it. that shit is too easy to do. anybody can listen to a song n just change the words. that's not creative, ur just building off of somebody elses creativity.. im not saying every rapper doesnt have ppl they'r influenced by, but being unique and innovative is what make an artist a master of his/her craft imo

What I hate is when rappers jump on a hot song and sound exactly like the nigga who made it hot.

No nigga.... Its one thing to be inspired, it's another to bite. Inspired is taking someone style, then flipping it, and interpreting it your own way.

We saw the Slick Rick influence n inspiration in Snoop. yet Snoop had crafted his own style ,with Slicks influence.

Snoop ain't come off sounding just like Slick....

This nigga logic is dope. But like thread starter said, dude sounds like J.KenDrake.

He needs to find his own lane.

Logic's album was better than J.Coles.

Don't argue with me if you haven't listened to both albums.

Notorious Thugs was hot

That's a lil tricky because maybe the beat only fits a certain type of flow depending on what the song is

 

[trilladelic]

I used to think that until I started rapping myself. Most music is in 4/4 so its easy to work with as far as flow and delivery goes.

Perfect example Drake on Versace. Damn near everybody copied his flow Los and Montana were the only ones that I heard that had different flows.

Everybody is inspired by somebody, but you can't steal someone's whole flow. You have to make it your own

 

[water ur seeds]

This Logic dude acts more camp then Perez Hilton or something...

Theres being inspired and influenced, and then there is bitting... No rapper is totally original anymore, like Big Pun was influenced by G Rap, but he didn't bite G Rap...

 

[sapp08_2001]

That nigga Game tho smh does this shit on damn near every collab

 

[LUClEN]

flows can't be copyrighted

If you took biggie's flow, but rapped tupac's content, because of the necessary components to a style which include poetic device usage, word choices, topic preferences, beat selections, and flow... i don't consider that biting personally

It's when you steal content / personality and flow that you are a piece of shit biter

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Notorious Thugs was hot

That's a different case that I don't consider biting.

He was featuring on a track with the artists whose flow he was using. I see it more as Let me show these boys that I respect they flow, and I'm a show love and employ the same style, and it seemed organic and natural
